Re: The Perfect Mouse for CAD
I’ve gone down this rabbit hole before and I think I’ve found the perfect mouse model so far from a Japanese brand (since 6 months ago): Elecom EX-G Ergonomic Mouse. These are the reasons I still use it today:
- The angle is a mix of fully vertical and regular horizontal mouse (more like 45 deg) so it’s less twisting for the wrist like a vertical mouse but has better control and accuracy like a regular horizontal mouse
- The shape is sculpted to fit a human hand - less simple and smooth shapes like a Logitech and more complex curves that follow fingers and palm location
- Comes in 4 different sizes - no other mouse I know of has the same model/shape in that many sizes. Massive advantage to get the right fit and comfort for any hand size
- Other nice to haves: multiple versions and colors available like a Bluetooth/dongle/wired version for the same model, all buttons are fairly quiet and easy to press, back/forward buttons. It doesn’t have a free scrolling wheel and the software you need to install isn’t super polished but the pros outweigh the cons IMO
I have one wired version at home, one at the office and a Bluetooth one to keep in my bag and haven’t missed my older Logitech mice one bit. Notable mention also, they’re pretty inexpensive and there’s a left handed version too.

Re: How to set camera rotation step and perspective?
- Hold Shift while clicking the arrows in the viewcube (or using the arrow keys) for 90 degree increments. (Or hold CTRL while clicking for 5 degree increments)
Re: Adding a rubber seal to a box
Looks like your issue is with a mid-point constraint being used after an operation has renamed the original line. I would suggest using a sketch, and profile, to sweep subtract that profile all in one operation. This might require some different planes and sketches, but still might be easier in the long run.
Good luck

Re: Trying to assemble an adjustable lamp
Change that revolute mate to a cylindrical mate, and everything will work.
Re: How to get Lofted columns to face same direction
agree with Jed's approach. much lighter. if the first loft would have this issue though, try playing with the 'connections' within the loft panel…
Re: Keep loading
I had that issue the day before: "Couldn't connect to onshape data center" and nothing happened after I signed in from a client's PC. Is there possibly an instability issue on the remote side?
Re: New Custom Feature: Publish Geometry
All this was btw was you needed to comment out the }); on that bottom line. FS was just throwing a syntax error since those are the closing brace and semi colon belonging to that opDeleteBodies function.
Re: HELP!!!!!!
Try restore to main from start or what ever version you have before the mistaken deletes. Make sure main is selected then right mouse button over previous version to restore to main.
